the winds SHOULD be much higher at 11 advisory.

look at her, she exploding over the past couple of hours...some Dvorak estimates put her at hurricane strength right now but those are not official yet. I say at least 65mph + for the 11pm advisory..

If 50mph to 60mph is much higher, then he's right. But I wouldn't be surprised at a little more to play it safe with the people who are right there.

I just watched Local 10 radar and its vamping up.Isn't it illegal to work during a hurricane warning. I have to be at Home Depot at 10 am.

the thunderstorms are just almost wrapped around the west side of the center. Radar shows it very well (NWS Miami) :eek:

remember last night's discussion tlaked about gfdl wanting to take the storm to the southwest and turn it into an intense hurricane. Cannnot discard that scenario.

Actually, like feeder said its not illegal to work; it's up to the employer, if its private to decide whether you have to go to work or not; thats why its mentioned to call your place of employment before to make sure

Question:

How much of the "

Are we seeing precipitation wrap around the center? Or is the center (with a relatively weak west side, and low precip tops) getting close enough that the radar beam can now better see precip on the west side?

(BTW, I agree that the trend is strengthening...just asking a meteo question...)

(edited..I meant west side, not east)

Not just yet. She hasn't even made her first landfall.

Dr Lyons just said it is moving SW and Miami is not out of the woods yet.

caneman · #19 Postby **caneman** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 8:53 am

Little scary that GFDL may be starting to play out and a 2nd landfall would be worse than a first..

#20 Postby **deltadog03** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 8:54 am

yeah, i wouldn't count out miami for a landfall...
